Question
Permanent magnets should have:

Answer

  1. High retentivity and high coercivity.
Explanation:
Permanent magnets should have high retentivity so that a strong magnetic field persists on removal of magnetic field.
Permanent magnets should have high coercivity so that external magnetic field in opposite direction cannot easily demagnetize the magnet.
